Why do we suddenly get too anxious about our future?

The future is full of possibilities and these realm of possibilities mean our mind will try to predict what can happen. 'Can' and not 'will'. So when you want something good to happen but you fear something bad can happen, you imagine all the possibilities that can happen. That's why we get anxious about our future. We try to live in our future, we want to secure it, we want to have assurance that it will be good.

We get too anxious about our future because we never know what is going to happen in the future. We don't know if we are going to get into the college we want, get the job we want, have the type of family that we want. The future is full of unanswered questions.

Well, I'm not sure exactly, but I can say that, in my opinion, we look at where we want to go, who we want to be and how we're going to get there, and it's just daunting when you look ahead like that,a whole world of obstacles and what-ifs! I guess that's why...

When we face reality , we get scared. we get scared that we are not acting the way we should in order to achieve our dreams. It makes us worried eventually.

I think this is because we feel that the future is beyond our control so we wonder "What if this happens? What if that happens?I'd better not do it! And if that was to happen, how will I control it?". So basically I think the anxiety comes from our own insecurities and our own personal desire to control everything around us. All we need is to let go..

It is the unknown. Things are always scary when we don't know what is happening, or going to happen, and when we can't control it. The future is something that comes from our present. That is why we need to live our lives and be open to new experiences and opportunities, while keeping our minds sharp and making good choices. That is a way we can have control over our futures and lessen the anxiety.

Our feelings are often tied to our thoughts. Recalling something we have recently observed and the thought associated with it can help us determine what we are feeling anxious about. For example, realizing that the end of a school semester is just around the corner could make someone think "I am not prepared~" leading to anxiety about the future. Some anxiety is natural and signal a need to act. However, in becoming too anxious, we need to follow our thoughts, identify our area of anxiety and work on challenging beliefs and behaviors associated with that anxiety. It may be something we can prevent or lessen once we allow ourselves to focus on the thought and think of it rationally instead of emotionally.

The future is daunting as there are plenty of unknowns things which contribute to its overall makeup; the future is comprised of the unknown; the future is unknown and sometimes these uncertainties take a toll on us, causing us to panic, to be anxious, to be unconfident and fearful; its important to stay optimistic and positive, to pursue opportunities with an open mind, to live life to the fullest. You can do it, just take it one step at a time, breathe in and out.

The future is something that is unknown. There's no definite answer no matter how much you try to find one which can be very frightening and intimidating.

we suddenly get too anxious about our future because we aren't able to predict how it will be like. We give out pretty expectations about our future and later on feeling scared that we won't be able to live up to that

The future can be both an exciting and scary prospect. On the one hand, it's full of incredible possibilities. On the other, it's rife with possible negative ones as well. Even more exciting or frightening is that all of these things are undetermined and uncertain. It's no wonder that we can become anxious about the future! Now why would we get *suddenly* anxious? It likely stems from a fear of an impending negative future, and something has triggered this anxiety. Generally this means that you're jumping straight towards a negative future without accounting for everything that can happen in between now and then. In it's severe form, this fear can almost manifest in your body having a "fight or flight" response. But how can we address this issue? It will depend on the severity to which it impacts you. If it's not interfering with your life in a consequential way, there are many strategies you can do on your own. You'll find some good suggestions on this site's anxiety module: https://www.7cups.com/anxiety-help. If it's interfering with your ability to function, then it's a good idea to seek medical advice from a family physician.

For we live in a fast paced world and the future is what everyone is working towards. For example people go to college to get a good job that pays the bills in the future. I feel as it is human nature just to wonder what the future has in store for us.

Every one wants his/her future as bed of roses but believe me if you haven't gone through thrones you won't find it too good untill you are born with a golden spoon. Thats the only reason about over anxiety

When we are born, people don't expect us to know our future plans, but as soon as we're teenagers, people start to expect that we know what we're going to do with our lives. We feel pressured to grow up, but pressure causes us to make more mistakes and we're afraid to do something wrong.

We can't get it done, All the contrast that was taught to us and inspire us to act and we cannot complete it. Cannot find the end to happiness, the end to sadness, the end to pain, the end to love. Not until the moment we die, for there is the end. And it is beautiful in a way, for if you could get any of those things done, then you could not want for them again, they would cease to exist. I;m side stepping the question and not really making sense.

We get anxtious about the future when we think there is no way that we can control what's going to happen. We want to know and be able to control everything. So the idea that we might have no part in our future worries us. I think focusing on certain things that we are now controling and believing in ourselves that we can make a change would probably decrease the anxiety. And also us trying forgive ourselves for the times that didn't turn out well in the past would help a lot.

The future is uncertain, out of out control, and there are so many possibility it can make our head spin. We have to realize that we really don't have a firm hand on the future and cannot direct it where we want it to go. Instead we must accept what happens.

I sometimes get anxious about the future because it is unknown and can be seen as unpredictable. I help manage my anxiety by setting measurable, manageable goals for myself and by trying to live for the present instead of worrying about what might happen in the future.
